How do I start?
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Registering the software ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
PmSpell is one of two OS/2 education programs I am currently writing and using.
PmMath being the other. I use both programs five times a week with my own two
children. This helps the children and helps me pick up any bugs or design
flaws. If you find this program useful please register by sending $20 Canadian
to me at the following address. Please make all checks or money orders payable
to "Brett Baudin".
